Why make Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip?
Vegetable dips are a great appetizer to bring to a party or to serve as a side dish with a meal like Sloppy Joe’s or Italian BLT Wraps.
Years ago, a friend of mine gave me a ranch vegetable dip recipe and told me “This dip actually makes me WANT to eat vegetables”. I mean, that’s a huge endorsement for a recipe!
So I made a batch of that dip and she was right. It WAS delicious. It also had full fat mayonnaise and full fat sour cream and a zillion grams of fat and calories per serving. I couldn’t even justly eating it because I felt like it canceled out the health benefits of the vegetables that I was dipping in it.
So I decided to create my own healthier ranch dip that was so good it makes people want to eat veggies! And honestly, for only 50 calories per serving, I nailed it.
This recipe uses Greek yogurt and light sour cream to save on fat and calories, and just a hint of real mayo to make it delightfully rich and creamy.
